Ever Have Trouble Sleeping After Games???

9 out of 10 hockey players say they have difficulty relaxing and sleeping after games.

​

On back to backs and 3 and 3's, many players are exhausted by the 2nd or 3rd game.

​

Many players struggle to climb out of bed because they are sleep deprived.

​

Many players find frustration because they can't perform how they did at main camp.

Some Players Evan's Worked With...

“I struggled with post game sleep for most of my 9 year career, not falling asleep before 5am. Ever since learning about Evan's mindset for supporting Pre Bedtime Relaxation and Sleep Function, I've been able to fall asleep from the first night I tried it by 1am."

Andre Benoit - Retired NHL

Defensemen

"The energy I had to power through the day was the biggest change. I went from constantly feeling tired and worn down to full of energy and ready to tackle each day. Evan has provided me with guidance that honestly changed my life, without his help, I do not believe I would be an Olympic hopeful for the 2018 Winter Olympic Games."

Nicole Hensley - 2018 USA Olympic Goalie

"As a young individual getting drafted to the NHL, I was unaware of what to expect or what steps I needed to take in order to get to the next level. Evan guided my process in the sense of nutrition and lifestyle and I would consider him a mentor as I was working my way through college"

Colton Parayko - St. LouisBlues

NHL Defensemen

"After many years of work with Evan, I not only became stronger, but I also began to think differently about hockey performance preparation. Evan has also helped me increase my desire for learning after many years of performance development. As apart of my personal development, not just as a hockey player, I also realized how important it is to develop a good balance with hockey and my family life. I consider him one of my best friends and a person to who I can always come for help!"

I'm Evan Levy and I will be your 'Off Ice' Mentor

I grew up playing hockey in my hometown of St. Louis, MO; however, at the age of 19, it was time to hang up my skates. Coincidentally, I found my new passion in the health field as a personal trainer.

​

Over the course of 4 years, I spent every waking moment in and out of the classroom perfecting my skills as a performance coach until I found my way back home to work with the St. Louis Blues Organization.

​

During my 7 years in the Blues Organization, my main focus was coaching young NHL draft picks through 'Off Ice' performance development.

(This is me at a jamboree for kids in Tatabanya, Hungary)

In 2017, my passion for development took me across the Atlantic to Hungary; where I had the privilege to work with the Hungarian professional teams and prepare their National Team for World Championships in Budapest.

Now, let’s go back to a post game scenario for a moment…

​

​

​

​

Let’s say you just played 20-30 minutes, or stopped 40-50 shots, or played 3 games in 3 nights.

You're exhausted! Legs are gassed and mind is spent!

And you know you have to get rest because you have another game tomorrow.

As you drive home from the game, you're already dreading the thought of trying to get a good night’s rest because it’s normally a no win battle.

Once you get into bed, you stare at your phone endlessly or watch your favorite Netflix series.

​

Finally, you nod off around 2 or 3am.

But wait! Now you have to wake up at 7am to get ready for a 10am morning skate.

You might be thinking, “I only got 4 hours of sleep and it’s already game day, again!”

You slowly crawl out of bed and drag yourself to the rink for morning skate.

Everything in your head is screaming,

“I’m gassed! I just want my bed!”

So many players go through the process of feeling exhausted the day after a game.

So many players go through the process of having trouble relaxing after games.

So many players think it’s absolutely hopeless to get optimal recovery.

So many players ask themselves, “Should I give up? Is it really hopeless?”

Some players might think, “Maybe this is just how the game of hockey is meant to be. Maybe players are not meant to find good recovery after games.”

What if I could tell you that it’s not true?

What if I could tell you there are players finding better relaxation and rest after games?

NHL Prospect

"Working with Evan has been incredible. Before not working with Evan I felt like I didn’t have energy on a day to day basis. With Evans help and just a few minor tweaks helped me tremendously. I sleep better and wake up with much more energy. I couldn’t believe that adding a couple things into my day to day life would be such a difference maker and I can’t thank Evan enough for his help."

So how does this info support a unique skill set?

From the moment a player starts playing hockey, they are invested in learning the skills of the game.

Generally, most players focus on becoming a better player on the ice with drills, tactics, practicing, and playing games.

But! Since 9 out of 10 competitive hockey players have trouble relaxing and sleeping after games, there is another skill that is worth learning.

​

Players should learn and develop their skills to relax and find better sleep after games.

​

And when I talk about skills, they are not complicated or overwhelming; very simple.

"Evan helped me right away, not overwhelming me with a bunch of workouts or nutrition plans. I installed just a couple small changes to my daily regimen that helped me get into a rhythm each day. Eating habits no longer became a chore instead it fit natural into my schedule and I found myself not always stressing about if I was eating enough. I found that I was sleeping better after games from implementing some of the changes to my post game routine."

So how did I come across these ideas?

In a previous situation, I had to take on a learning perspective as I went through my own challenges.

When I was 24, I developed an excessive urination (pee) issue.

​

I got to a point where I had to pee 70x a day and at my worst found myself sleeping in a bath tub 3 nights in a row because I couldn't stop peeing during the night.

Basically, it was easier for me to pee while sleeping in the tub without getting out of bed every 5 seconds to pee.

As Tony Robbins likes to say, “We learn either by desperation or inspiration.”

​

Let’s just say I went through both.

I became motivated to think outside the box and discover what could be causing my own challenges.

Eventually I came across the work of Dr. Ray Peat PHD who has revolutionized the health industry with the brilliance of his work.

Long story short, after the first 24 hours my urination went from 70x to 15x a day and no longer sleeping in a bath tub.

After going through these challenges, I developed a new understanding of the body and began working with hockey players from a different mindset that started showing radical changes!

(Yes, this actually happened)

"I was sleep walking 2 to 3 times a night on a regular basis. Through his knowledge on what could be causing it and the use of proper nutrition and other ideas I limited my sleep walking to only getting up once or twice a week right off the bat. Now I feel like I have more energy to do my job, because I've been sleeping better."
